*mentally unstable*

Happy. Excited. Euphoric. Over the moon. Lively. Joyful. Cheerful. Contented. Merry. Playful. Glad. Jubliant. Jolly. Estactic. Satisfied. Upbeat. Elated. Thrilled.

Ok, I guess you get the idea. I am happy! Why? It's because of the storybook that I just read finish last night. Nora Roberts - Brazen Virtue. Definitely a unique story of murders relating to phone sex, causing rape. In the midst of the investigation, a sweet romance blossoms. The romance in this book is definitely not the steamy type as in her other books. This kind of romance is a very straightforward, sweet, loving, practical romance. Makes me feel so sweet and smiley and that's why I am happy! Go grab that book, it is worth reading!

I am so happy that I am irritating my dearest laogong. But like what I told him, too bad. He got to bear with me. He has to accept me for who I am right? Haha. Just like how I am stuck with him.

Just went out for dinner. Auntie Joyce's treat because she got a promotion. They are now in my dining room, hmmm, having a social activity. Can't say the exact activity here. Haha. Apparently, my uncle is upset about the soccer match yesterday with chelsea and don't know who. He and Jerome kept arguing. Jerome kept teasing my uncle.

Gill's coming tomorrow for lunch and mum is going to teach her how to make those beaded accessories. I got to make another 2 more bracelets. 1 for laogong's mum and 1 for Chris. Probably will make it tomorrow.

Think I'll sign off here. Am going to irritate my laogong now. The method is still unknown. I will just do what I do best. Drive him up the wall. Muahahahahaha.

General Election

General Election. May 6 2006. And I can't vote. 3 reasons why.

1. I am not 21.
2. There is no contest in Jurong GRC.
3. I hate politics.

Everyone's rejoycing over the progress package. I am not. 1 reason why.

1. I don't have it!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Why? Under 21!!)

Fine! Shall wait till next election.

Civil servants received the bonus in march. I did not. 2 possible reasons why.

1. Under 21
2. Less than 1 year in service.

Fine! Shall not bother about election then.

Donate to Marie's Donation Fund.

I met laogong at bugis after he ended work, about 6pm. And in a short time, I spent $120. Dinner was at Rossinis, but honestly, I didn't enjoy dinner, maybe we ordered the wrong dishes. Dinner itself costs $40 exact. No GST or service tax. Then we went to walk around bugis. I ended buying 2 tops and 2 skirts. The tops are quite alright, nothing too fancy, but looks nice. The skirts are unique. I like both. But out of these 2, I can only wear 1 to work, but even to wear that to work, I will have to wear it with a formal top. The other one is just unique, too frilly to wear for work. All these $80. I like the clothes, but now I feel so heartache. Got not enough money to last me till my pay comes in. Who want to donate to Marie's donation fund? Any amount is accepted.

Read finish another storybook today, by J. D. Robb (a pseudonym of author Nora Roberts) - Naked in Death. This is the first book of the thrilling suspense series. Some of the ther titles are Glory in Death, Rapture in Death, Holiday in Death. Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting down murder(s), in each of this book. The setting is a futuristic setting in the year 2040+ whereby technology plays a very huge role. I must admit that every single book that Nora Roberts has written is indeed top grade. Well, not to mention the steamy romance. Going to embark on my next storybook, Brazen Virtue.

I finally managed to get hold of my NIE Supervisor for my practicum. She caucasion and her accent is quite difficult for me to understand. Anyway I will be meeting her on the 8th May.

I was pissed just now, with my brother. He thought I didn't hear what he said about me. He's staying over at his girlfriend's house today. I told him mum will definitely not be happy. He said he told her already and that he is not like me so guai (well-behaved) to always stay home, if I am not going to break the rules, he will. I didn't reply him but inside my heart I was thinking, "Hey, nothing wrong with being guai. And, I don't break rules because I respect my parents and I know that they are worried." When will he grow up? When will he learn? His world now is just a world with 2 people. He and his girlfriend. All that proclamation of him being filial and holy is total bullshit. What's the point of going to church early and for extra services if he doesn't know the meaning of it? What's the point of saying that he wants to be closer to God if he keeps spending all his time with his girlfriend? Total bullshit and a load of crap!

Ok nevermind, I will go admire my clothes now. I like the clothes a lot. Too bad, my family is not in the habit for us to wear and show them and give comments. So I can only silently admire my newly bought clothes and look forward to the day I can wear them. But if I was a laogong's place, I bet we will now be commenting on it and finding ways to match the clothes. Oh well, laogong faster earn money to support me then I can move over... hahahaha.. =p Anyway, laogong also bought a new shirt today. Another new look for him. Yandao!

Drilling, drilling and more drilling

Guess what. The drilling continued on today! I nearly went nuts. Figured out that the drilling came from the house below mine, and not above because there was so much sand and cement on my floor and i can see the footprints going down the stairs from my floor. I am so pissed. They better stop it tomorrow, if not... if not.. I also don't know what to do.. haha..

I'm home alone now. My parents went for dinner for my ah gong's birthday (today is the actual day) and Uncle Seifee wanted to give a treat. I don't like him. Let me describe him. He is my 6th uncle's "friend". "Friend" because both of them are males and they are living together is some rich bungalow. Wherever my 6th uncle goes, he goes along too. He calls himself my uncle's rice bowl. Theorectically speaking, he is not a part of the family but he treats himself as a big boss. He dares to scold my relatives when he feels that they are not treating ah gong right. To him, money is power. Idiot. Ok so anyway, because of him, my uncle also converted to Muslim. I have nothing against that seriously but he should know that the rest of the family is Chinese. During christmas he can complain to my mum why she place the ham in front of him. Excuse me. My mum set the table already and then he just go there to sit. If he doesn't like, he can jolly well just change to another place. Why must we change the table layout because of him? Agree? Now, during Christmas, my mum doesn't even take out the ham. She leaves it in the kitchen and tell my relatives to go to the kitchen to get it. Why? Because of this big idiot. Too bad, he's older than me, whenever I see him, I still got to greet him. My complaints about him can go on and on. Not too nice to keep writing here. Don't know who is reading.

Decided to write my blog earlier today so that I can explore dreamweaver later. Still considering moving my blog. Can't really figure out how to use it yet. Managed to design out something but I can't seem to open the file again.

Anyway, spent most of the day watching Da Chang Jin. I finished 7 episdoes today. Did a bracelet for Auntie Joyce too. Took me nearly 3 hours. Because I spent some time figuring out how to arrange the beads and once I got the hang on it, then I increased my pace. Looks very nice. Feel like making one for myself too. Maybe will do it tomorrow. Hmm.

Itching to go KTV. Was supposed to go out today. But was cancelled last minute. By the time another of my friend smsed me to go out, I was so engrossed in Da Chang Jin that I didn't want to go out anymore. Wondering what's wrong with my new DVD R/RW. I can't seem to play Da Chang Jin on it. It runs, but there's no sound. I try using Nero to read, it plays the start and hangs as soon as it moves into the show. But I have no problem watching my anime, Gunslinger Girl on both. Anyone has solutions as to what I can do?

Am I Too Emotional?

Just finished reading my storybook today. Nora Roberts' - Rising Tides. This book is one out of a series of 4 books, on four brothers Cameron, Ethan, Philip & Seth, each coming from different backgrounds, sharing their brotherly bond, finding their romance and staying united through obstacles. Never fails to touch my heart.

It is understandable that I cry while watching huan zhu ge ge (right?) but have you heard of anyone crying while reading a book? I do. One example? Me. When the characters are happy, I'm happy and when they are sad, I can just imagine how they are feeling. Maybe that's the beauty and strength of books written by Nora Roberts.

Did my pedicure and manicure today. French manicure. And both toes and fingers nails have little flowers on them. Quite nice I must say. Package is ending soon. Left with 1 more pedicure. Should I sign another package with them?

Was so irritated this morning. I wonder what is it with my neighbour or neighbours. Drilling again. Woke me up at 9am! Can't they just do it finish in one day? Why do they have to keep drilling on and on. Drove me nuts, so mad, I wanted to smash everything I could see. Grrr. Am I over-reacting again?

Exam's Over

Finally! Exam's finally over. Done with this semester. Maths paper was tough, but I managed to do, just not sure whether my methods and solutions are acceptable. I hope so.

After the paper, Chris, Faith, Gillian and I went to Jurong Point to celebrate by eating ice-cream. Today's ice-cream is fabulous. Today's batch tastes better than normal. I had durian freezeball ice cream (flavoured ice + ice cream in a cup), and the rest of them had a 2 scoop ice-cream. We sat in the shop and chat and as usual, I am the last one to finish eating. Ok... I am a slow eater. I know. Well, I'm savouring my ice-cream. Haha.

Analyzed some of those jewellery making patterns with my mum. Mum asked me to make 1 for Auntie Joyce (Dad's friend's wife) as they are treating us to dinner this Sunday. Our guess is that it is auntie Joyce's birthday. We were stuck for a long time, deciding the colour to use.

Tried calling my NIE Supervisor again today. No one answer. Is she on leave? All my friends can contact their supervisor except me.

Now that exam is over, I free so relieved and free. Going to accompany Gillian tomorrow for her makeover. Apparently, she won some lucky draw or something like that. Anyway, it seems too good to be true, so better to be safe than sorry, I'm going to accompany her, to act as an additional brain. Hehe. It's at boat quay.

Need to go do my pedicure and probably manicure too. The skin on my heels is cracking again. My nail art also dropping off piece by piece. Maybe if we end early tomorrow, I will get it done. Got to make a bracelet for Chris' Birthday too. Will probably have to pack my room again. Haha. And I can start learning some coding. I think I want to migrate my blog to laogong's server (or whatever it is called). Blogspot is so unstable and it is irritating the hell outta me. Grr!

Maths!!

I am so mentally drained today and physically tired. I am so excited about my practicum that I could not sleep the whole night and previous night. Kept dreaming of my primary school days and wondering how my practicum will go. So, I decided to call my practicum school as soon as the teachers have finished their flag raising ceremony. Called at 8.30am. Yeah, I know. Very early, even the teacher in charge for practicum teachers has not even reached office. They left her a message and she called me back at about 9.45am. She told me that she has just received the letter from NIE and that she has yet to speak to the principal and vp. So, she will call us back another day, probably some time in May, after they have finished the mid-year examinations. Then I tried calling my NIE supervisor. Called so many times and no answer, so I left a voice message in her answering machine, and still no reply. Wonder why.

Anyway, went to Yew Tee MacDonalds to study with Chris and Gillian. The environment is very nice. I like the seats. It was very quiet initially, but when class has ended for the day, the place was full of secondary school kids, shouting and running about. Boys. Sweaty and stink! I was practically suffocating.

We did Maths. I made so many stupid and careless mistakes. Hope I don't make them tomorrow. I need a clear and fresh mind and I am aiming for distinction for tomorrow's paper. I know that Maths is the only subject that I can score and dare to aim high.

Today is also dua yi's husband's burial. I didn't go, but my parents went. She says that my dua yi and cousins are doing fine, probably because they were expecting it already. Pray that God is with them through these days.

Dad's Birthday Celebration

Dinner is simply fantastic! Yum Yum. Yuki Yaki. We ate a lot and I am very full. We made ice-cream too. The ice-cream was a little bit disappointing though. Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself. Too bad laogong had to go home by himself because my brother's girlfriend is staying over tonight, so there wasn't any space in the car. Laogong hao wei da!!

Mum's like very pleased with lao gong. Think maybe because laogong peeled the prawns today and when he talked to them, shows his thinking and such.

On my new computer now. Feels very neat and clean. Need to install a few more programs. Short update today.

Meeting Chris and Gillian tomorrow to study!

Ah Gong's Birthday Celebration

It is quite a happy day for me today, although I had to work. Nevertheless, I got a piece of good news when I went to work. May 6 is elections day and is a public holiday, and there's no work! YES!!! Let my students do mainly theory today, so that while they are doing their work, I can study for my math exam too. Got no choice. I don't have the time!

After work, I went to church and then for Ah Gong's Birthday Celebration. Ah Gong is 91 years old this year, still going strong, though he was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. Dinner was awful, to be truthful. $350 per table. Each table 10 people and we had, cold dish, sharks fin soup, chicken, asparagus, bee hoon and red bean soup (soup only!). It is so expensive. Luckily, we were given a small function room, with karaoke system.

Sang with my cousin, Joyce (who is also going to be a NIE like me, but she graduates earlier) Yong Qi, Lydia and Hou Lai. The mtvs are so pirated. The music and sound is exactly similar to the MTVs we see, but the pictures, all scenary. We wanted to sing Xiao Wei too, but the words totally didn't suit the song so we stopped. Lousy! Mike and sound system is horrible too. Mum said where she was sitting it sounded very loud, and we were already holding the mike nearly 1m away. Hungry now. Hehee.

Took many pictures too. With my brother, my godparents, my cousins. Won't be posting any of these pictures up here because of privacy. Anyway, I've decided to step out of my quiet self and communicate more with my cousins and relatives. Shall no longer just sit in one corner and drink water. Haha. Time for my to grow up.

Received my posting for my practicum. I am going back to my primary school for my teaching assistantship. Keming Primary School. Really excited and I am wondering where any of my teachers are still there and yet worried too. It's going to be a whole new experience. Finally! Since when I was in primary school, I wanted to be a teacher. And now, I am going to be one.

Laogong's coming to do my computer for me tomorrow, hope everything runs smooth. Then we're going out for dinner with my family and brother's gf. Excited!~

DSS100 Test

DSS 100 test is over! I'm happy that it is over. Not too happy that I don't think I will score well. My consolation is, everyone is saying that. Which means, everyone won't do very well, and they will most probably moderate the scores, which means, I may not do that bad afterall. Oh well, since it is over, shall not think about it. Move on. Coming up next, DSM 101 Exam. Oh ya, tell you all something ridiculous. They took a full solid half an hour to collect and count the papers. First time I see invigilators count papers, count till so long.

Just cut dad's birthday cake. Emicakes is good. Their cakes are just right and fluffy. Not too sweet. Oooo. Today, we had to cut the cake without my brother, because he said that he won't be home by 11pm and I know my parents do not sleep so late, so we had to cut earlier. Damn. He won't even make an exception and come home earlier today. My dad is quite disappointed I think. He kept hoping that my brother will come home and join in the celebrations.

Anyway, my mum and I sang the birthday song VERY loudly and my dad was trying to hush us. He's shy at this age. Hmmm. Haha. I wish my dad a very happy 58th Birthday.. tomorrow.

Rushing to finish my storybook now, because it is due tomorrow. So till tomorrow's update, bye!

I wonder

I wonder... whether my laogong is born to be a lamer. Here's roughly what happened in our sms conversation when I was supposed to be studying for my DSS test tomorrow:

(At 2.40pm)
me: i can't find my mood!
laogong: becos u never find it hard enough
me: i've checked through all my cupboards, drawer, etc. no sign of it.
laogong: try shouting
me: tried shouting already. even opened my chute and shouted down. the only reponse is my own echo.
laogong: try harder
me: i think i will find my mood at 3pm.

(At 2.50pm)
me: how would i know what mood looks like when he comes knocking later?
laogong: a cow.
me: why?
laogong: because moo-d.
me: FAINT

yes and that's why I wonder. Do you agree it is a good joke? Very original. It takes someone with a very lame mind to come out with that. Haha, I had a really good laugh.

Ok, so ultimately, did I study? A little here and there. 125 MCQ instead of 120, i realized. I see my friends study so hard, but here I am, taking things easy. I have studied, gone through my notes about 3 times, and I still have so much time to watch tv and read storybook. Am I working hard enough or am I being complacent? I wonder...

Called Yuki Yaki, to make a reservation this Sunday to celebrate my dad's birthday. They have 2 outlets. One at Marina Square, which we will be going, and the other at Cineleisure. I am looking forward to it, very much. Hope my dad enjoys dinner.

I just discovered that they now sell durians door to door, like the way they sell Yakult/Vitagen and ice-cream. Was tempted to buy, because I have this craving now, but didn't buy because it is illegal and I believe the durian is not of a good quality. Nevermind. Am going to Emicakes tomorrow to collect my dad's birthday cake - black forest ($19.80) at Bukit Batok Central and I can buy the durian crepe there. It's delicious and mouth watering.

The last thing I am wondering now, before I go off to slack again. Am I slacking too much before a paper? God knows.

Laughter is the best medicine

I realized that laughter is the best medicine whenever you are feeling down, stressed or lazy. Watched 永不言败 today. The contestants had to sing a duet with the selected stars and songs. I really admire the contestants. Despite failure, they never say die! Takes a lot of self confidence to be rejected through other competition and come back to do this competition. Maybe they may not be able to sing or act very well, but one thing they have, creativity. They use creativity to help themself score points. But the N6 guy very cute, only 17 years old, shy shy boy boy type. Too bad, I think he is not one of the hot favourties. Guess who is? Steven Lim. Shocker. But well, my honest opinion, he can act, when he doesn't do anything stupid.

Then I received an email from my cousin. She send a video clip on topless car wash. Now now, what comes to your mind? Women in bikinis and thongs washing cars right? No. Instead, it is, men. Not even hunks. Those men are really fat and they did things that if done by those bimbos, would turn men on, like spraying water on themselves and doing those sexy moves. Absolutely, downright gross! Laughed really hard. Anyone who wants the video, drop me a message. I will try to see if I can send it to you.

DSS 100 test is this friday! I have revised half already, but nothing really seems to get in. I can only assure myself that since the test is all mcq (120 questions), i stand a 25% chance of getting each question right. Optimisstic or disillusion? Whichever.

Got to go back to revising now. Bye!

Sungei Buloh Trip

I am so tired! Woke up at 6am this morning to meet Gillian and Latha at Kranji MRT. We had some problems getting a cab initially, but managed to get one and arrived on time. The trip was quite interesting, with the exception of those irritating mosquitoes. Got 3 bites. On my forehead (=.=), my left arm, and right leg. Gheez. Itchy. Learnt quite a bit about the habitats and environment of mangroves. Unfortunately, I am still not a nature person, so I still cannot fully appreciate the full beauty of mangroves.

Took a lift from Chor Hong to causeway point with Gillian. We walked there a little while, till I went home. Managed to buy for dad his birthday present, a Goldllion wallet for $32. It's nice. Bodyshop is also having a sale there this week. There are many irresistable offers, but still I couldn't bear to spend the money.

When I came home, I had a really really bad headache. Causes could be either that the sun was too hot, or I sweat and my hair was wet and i tied it, or it's just the usual problem. Popped 2 panadols and went to sleep. But I couldn't sleep peacefully. Thunder was so loud and strong, it woke me up. Dad called a couple of times. Finally, I decided not to sleep and just laze around, hoping the pain would go away.

Basically, watched tv from then on till now. I got a shock of my life when I tried to start up my computer. I thought it hanged on the "memory testing" screen, luckily, I read and pressed F1 to continue. I am supposed to start studying for my DSS test this friday! 120 MCQ questions. I can't find the motivation to do that. Help! I need motivation. Guess I really got to cramp whatever I can tomorrow when I meet Gillian to study. We are also going to do our Sungei Buloh Report tomorrow.

Feeling so lazy. Maybe shall sleep early again tonight. Piano lesson tomorrow and I am dreading it, awfully. Sigh.

Slacking..

I spent most of the day slacking. Woke up in the late morning and watched TV for a little while. They were playing this old movie on this young boy taking a wife much much older than him. Then watched Jamie Oliver's cooking show. Took a shower after that and then went to clementi to buy lunch because I didn't know what to eat from downstairs.

Watched huan zhu ge ge in the afternoon, while having my lunch. After that I cleared part of my bedroom, sorting out my notes, and clearing my table in the process. Looks much nicer now and definitely neater.

Poor laogong's computer is dead. I don't know what he did to it, and he can't point out the exact fault. So he can't go online now. When you are really unlucky, shit happens. He wanted to go to the usual shop that he sends to repair usually, but it closed down. And, when he wanted to go to another shop, it has already closed for the day.

There isn't much to update for today. Going Sungei Buloh tomorrow. Meeting Gillian at Kranji MRT station at 7.15am. Got to sleep early tonight.

Easter Sunday

Laogong and I went Sim Lim today to get me a new CPU. Coincidentally, laogong's harddisk died on him this morning. This new CPU costs me $625, after much bargaining. Seems reasonable, though I don't really know the specs, but since laogong says its ok, it ok.

Came home and tried to transfer the hard disk from my old CPU into the new one. Also transferred one of my CD-reader and floppy drive. Couldn't get it to start running. After much testing and configuration, laogong finally deduced that my hard disk is too old and is probably not compatible with my new CPU. Sob. So right now, I am on my old CPU again, with 2 big holes in the centre, because one of my CD reader and floppy has been removed and attached to the new CPU, which laogong will come down next week to help me set it up. Backing up my files at the moment. Take a look at how my CPU looks now. You can even see the parts in my CPU through the hole.


Quite tired today. Guess it is because I slept really late last night and had to wake up early today to go work. Luckily, my students today weren't too bad. So I didn't have to raise my voice at them or maybe I couldn't be bothered to. Just too tired. Haha.

Bought a new dress today too. Laogong paid for it. $18.50. I think it's nicer than the pink one I bought the other day. Mum says it looks more like a nightie. Ok I am really pissed now. Retyped this paragraph 3 times and 3 times after uploading the picture, my paragraph is gone. As I was saying, I bought it at Bencoolen Shopping Centre, near the Guan Yin Temple, at Shi Ma Lu. Guess the time it took me. Less than 5 minutes. Laogong went to the temple, I walked around there and then it caught my eye. Waited for laogong, tried it on, he say ok, then he paid and bought it. Love this dress! Love laogong too. *Muack Laogong* Thank you. Well, he was amazed at my speed of shopping and at such an "auntie place". He told me "你在这种地方也找得到衣服". I am taking it as a compliment. That's why when people ask me where do I buy my clothes, I say anywhere. That's how shopping should be. It's an eye opener everytime. It's ok to patronize a shop or two, but look at others too. Go for a change of style, design. When buying clothes, try on, make sure that they fit nicely, you like it, it is easy to mix and match, and the most important, reasonable pricing. That's for me. If you feel that a certain clothing won't fit, and you are hesitant (not because of the price), don't buy. Most likely, you won't wear it often and you won't feel comfortable in them. That's my concept anyway.



Lunch was at HotPot Cafe or eatery, whichever you call it. We had dried chilli frog legs, northen tom yam soup and hotplate toufu seafood. Really nice. I like the food in that place. Was really full after eating. The walk at Sim Lim helped burn off the food. Practically walked till my feet ache, especially since my ankle has not fully recovered.

The weather is so unpredictable these few days. Tempermental. Rains without warning. Got to remember to carry an umbrella out these few days.

Anyway, to all christians and catholics out there, Wishing you a Happy and Blessed Easter!

Book Review: Nora Roberts - Genuine Lies

A definitely thrilling book with lots of romance in it. Love. Hate. Scandals and affairs. Murder. It's got all its elements of suspense to keep you hooked on the book. A twist in the story plot is certainly not what you expect.

Eve Benedict is a sexy and hot actress who decided to write her biographer, through the help of Julia Summers, the biographer. Eve, who has been remarried four times, holds many secrets in Hollywood and everyone is trying to stop her from spilling it all out, to the extend of murder.

The unexpected twist, Julia is the flesh and blood daughter of Eve. Julia is furious with Eve for giving her away. Eve dies the next day through murder. All fingers point at Julia. Another twist.

Julia falls in love with Paul Winthrop, Eve's sexy stepson. Together, Paul helps Eve fight the case and creates a sweet romance with Julia. Julia is nearly killed too while in confrontation with the murderer, someone you least expect.


5 of out 5 stars is my rating!

Easter Vigil Mass

Shall try to write today's blog with proper sentence structure. Hehe. Easter. A New Beginning.

We (My family, Zhee Kor and I) went for the Easter Vigil Mass today. It lasted 3 and a half hours. It started at 7.30pm, with a simple procession of the light with the Easter candle. Then everyone went into church. There were a total of 9 readings and 8 psalms today, instead of the normal 2 readings and 1 psalm. After the readings, baptism. 61 newly baptised catholics! Before finally moving on to the holy eucharist. So you can imagine how long the mass was. Though long, it was rather meaningful. The atmosphere, when the lights are all off, and everyone lights a candle. It simply brings goosebumps to me. The church decor was also very magnificient. White lilies and other kinds of flower. White banners. White curtains. Even the priests and altar servers vestments were all white! Peace. Serene. Joy. Easter!

During the long mass, Zhee Kor started feeling so cold. My brother and I had to warm her up. Poor thing. She didn't eat lunch and dinner, and that's why she was feeling so weak and cold. After mass, dad say to go Lavender for supper cum dinner, because by the time mass ended it was already 11.30pm. Dad's driving is getting really scary. In order to feel at ease in the car, close your eyes and let him drive. Don't look. Your life will be shorten by 5 years. I do hope I pass my driving the next time. At least I know, I'll drive safely.

So anyway, dad missed a turn and we ended up in Geylang. Geylang's crowded today. The D24 durians look so yummy. Feel like eating. Zhee Kor was so hungry that she kept talking about eating turtle soup, frog leg porridge, teochew porridge, this and that. Finally, we reached Lavender. Ate a lot! I had beef noodles. Nice. Zhee Kor had beef noodles too. She also ordered carrot cake with extra egg and 10 pieces of BBQ chicken wings! Dad ordered extra big fish cakes also. Imagine how crowded our table was. Felt like we have not eaten in ages.

Dad was rather "comical" today. We asked dad where was ah gong's birthday held. He said at a restaurant at Depot Road. So here's the conversation:
Mum: Where is depot road?
Dad: NTUC there.
Mum: Which NTUC?
Dad: Depot road.
Everyone just broke into laughter. My dad can be so comical at times.

Reached home at about 1.30am. Can't sleep yet because I ate a lot and it isn't good to sleep on a full stomach. Put on weight. Well, going to talk to laogong soon. Miss laogong so much! Going to get a new CPU tomorrow. Yeah!

Just an update on my work today: Angry with the usual students. Grr. Should I not teach piano anymore? My weekends are always burnt. But if I give it up, where am I going to get money from? Sheesh.

Good Friday

It's Good Friday.. well the question is.. since Jesus died today, what is so good about good friday? Well, it is supposed to be a solemn occassion no doubt, but the goodness comes in Jesus dying to save us from our sins.. i do hope i am right.. honestly.. i am quite a bad catholic =x

went to church at 12.30pm first.. couldn't wake up.. had to drag myself up.. mass was thankfully not too long.. it was raining very heavily during that time.. if anyone realized.. it always rains on Good Friday.. my parents and i were just talking that we all realized that.. probably because when Jesus died.. it rained too.. and the timing was just around 3pm when he died.. yeah.. seems quite true.. well.. after church.. we went home for a while.. dad bought bread.. cos today we are supposed to fast..meaning 2 half meals and 1 full meal.. so we had bread with otah.. went back to church at for the stations of the cross at 5.30pm.. talking about this makes us all so angry.. my brother was the one saying he wanted to go... so we all say ok lor.. at 4.50pm when we were leaving house.. my brother said he not going.. he meeting his friend at 5.30pm to go skating.. u say angry a not? nevertheless, we went ahead.. reached church quite early.. so decided to go for confession.. which i have been trying to avoid.. but no regrets.. actually i come out feeling better..

after that we went for dinner.. our full meal.. went to IMM cos mum wanted to go laser flair.. buy 大长今 dvd.. then we saw Memoirs of a Geisha dcd also out.. mum also bought.. and harry potter latest dvd.. dinner had yong tau foo.. then went home le..

initially mum and i said we wanted to watch memoirs of a geisha.. but dad said watch Pope John Paul II vcd.. becos we have to keep holy today.. haha.. and geisha is abt sex.. so no no for that.. lol.. so when we were watching vcd.. i did a necklace and a earring.. did a lot of trial and error.. actually its simple.. but well my first time doing.. so took quite a long time.. did a ring in the afternoon for my aunt.. as promised.. attached here is the set of earring + necklace + ring i gonna wear for ah gong's birthday.. becos mum said she wanted me to be her model.. lol..



then here is the ring i made for my aunt.. erm.. yeah.. that's my fat and ugly finger.. that can't fit into that ring.. lol



yup.. so that's about it for today.. gonna go work tomorrow.. and attending the easter vigil mass at 7.30pm.. kinda looking forward to that mass.. there's gonna be a very lovely atmosphere with lots of candles.. hehe...

Maundy Thursday

gheez.. typed my blog already... and then dunno what i clicked and all gone.. gonna retype again..
morning very suay.. right after i reached boon lay.. i sprained my ankle.. that's not all.. i was wearing heels today!.. it was so embarrassing.. imagine seeing a big fat ugly jackfruit tumbling a little.. aiyo.. >.< so i just bear with the pain and continued to walk.. was hurting like hell.. i think what happened was.. my shoe got caught in between a small hole.. which apparently.. i dun consider it as one.. if not i would have avoided it..and then i wanted to pull it out.. and then the other side.. sprained.. suay rite?.. lol.. went to school.. listen to presentations again.. handed in my DCS lesson plan.. yeh yeah.. no more projs for this sem.. after school.. went causeway point with gillian.. not many shops having sale.. but metro was having sale at the basement.. bought a dress.. pink colour ($16 only!!).. hmm.. having problems uploading it.. trying it quite a few times already.. nvm will keep trying to upload the pic of the dress.. alongside with that.. i've uploaded another pic.. the skirt ($15) i bought at DoubleIndex and a top at BEGA ($26) @ JP quite some time ago..i feel that it is a little expensive already.. and my brother thought it was very cheap..





went to church this evening for maundy thursday mass.. quite a long service.. for the benefit of those who dun understand what is maundy thursday.. i've attached an article for your information.. Maundy Thursday
well in short, maundy thursday is the day before good friday.. the day of the last supper.. the day when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples.. and catholics go church visitation.. mum said in the olden olden olden times.. people travelled on foot to the next town/village for adoration of the holy eucharist.. and so basically we are following tradition.. hope i am right here.. not too sure about it though..

after mass we went for dinner at alexandra village.. that was already 9+pm.. den not much choice because most shops were closed already.. so we had fish steamboat.. and prawn roll, prawn paste chicken and vegetable.. nice.. service good too.. then we went for desert.. we wanted those qing tang, ice jelly kind, but closed.. so we went to buy fruit juices.. interesting.. i order durian milk.. absolutely fabulous!.. mum ordered luo han guo + winter melon.. refreshing!.. dad ordered avocado milk.. tasted more like chendol.. mum says they used coconut milk instead of fresh milk.. and bro had watermelon + honeydew.. when the cups of fruit juices arrived.. the colour was so nice.. brother took a pic on his hp..


went church visitation after that.. been a very long time since we went church visitation.. today we went to St. Mary of the Angels.. and St. Joseph church.. said a silent prayer and left.. suddenly i recalled the days when i was active in my church group.. sometimes i do wanna go back and help out... but when i recall all the politics.. it just pushes me back out again.. sigh..well gotta go church tmr again.. it's good friday.. dreadfully long service..

hmm before i end off.. i just wanna tell my laogong that i really love him so much.. and sorry for being so tempermental the last few days.. dun be angry with me already ok? muackz.. i love you!!

Restless

very restless the whole day.. slept at 3am last night.. brother said he wanted to make baked potato for supper.. waited until 2+am for it.. by the time i ate it.. and slept was about 3am already.. but ok la.. read my story book all the while..

morning couldn't wake up.. but had to force myself up because i had to go for my piano class... sigh.. scolded again.. sometimes i dunno what she wants lor.. no matter how i change or try to play it her way it is still.. wrong.. got scolded.. and uncontrolably tears rolled down.. again.. sigh.. everytime go for piano class sure cry a bit de.. sometimes i feel really like giving up my piano diploma.. i know its a waste.. after all these years.. but sometimes i feel that my standard is worse than my own students.. how how how.. what to do..

after lesson came home.. wanted to go ktv.. but couldn't find anyone to accompany me.. so i came home.. and completed my lesson plan.. a whooping 45 pages.. with the appendix and all that.. and i must say.. i think i did a good lesson plan.. ready to hand it in tomorrow.. so that i dun have to make that extra trip down on monday just to hand in..

went to westmall after dinner.. to bind my project.. walk until there.. ATM there spoilt.. grr.. then nvm.. westmall no shop can do binding.. then recalled at central there is a photocopy shop.. so i walked there to have it binded.. then went back to westmall.. walk walk by myself.. giordano having sale there.. too crowded.. can't really have a good look.. den went shop n save.. to buy UHT milk for daddy.. on my way home.. saw paul.. paul told me hamida.. aka my twin.. went to the ladies.. so i waited for her a while.. chatted a bit.. then walked home..

came home so sweaty.. so i bathe.. in cold water.. it is very refreshing.. helps me cool down.. feeling so restless the whole day..think i will go back to read my book.. very interesting.. there's a twist in the story.. but its still a long way to finishing.. will do the book review again here when i'm done reading the book..

DCS lesson plan day

I've decided to label today as my DCS lesson plan day... been doing my DCS lesson plan the whole day.. ever since i woke up.. well.. i woke up quite late today though.. it was nearly noon when i woke up.. which goes to show how tired i am.. hehe..

had my lunch and breakfast together.. dad saved a crab for me.. so i had it for lunch.. just half of the body.. and i took about an hour to finish it.. my brother said i was savouring the crab.. lol.. not really.. it was just big.. and hard to crack.. so i ate quite slowly.. but it was also nice la.. hehe.. had that with bread and i was quite full already..

bro's gf is here today.. that means he took my sofa again! and now i am sitting so uncomfortablely on his chair.. typing this blog and doing my DCS lesson plan.. i am so irritated.. everytime she comes.. he will take my sofa.. zzz.. at least i made him wash my dishes this afternoon in return i lend him the sofa.. muahahaha.. not that i want to be niao.. but i sacrifice leh... so he must sacrifice something back also ma.. my torture without the chair is many hours.. he only wash plate very fast de..

well nothing much to update about today.. hoping to go ktv tmr.. but who will go with me?

swimming

morning was awoken by very loud drilling from my neighbour upstairs.. think she is renovating her whole house.. or at least the room above my room.. i could feel the vibrations from all the drilling.. nearly drove me crazy.. tried to read my story book to ignore all the commotion.. am reading nora roberts' genuine lies now.. quite a thick book.. so will probably take a long time to read finish.. am only 2/5 through the book.. been reading since last week.. hehe..

luckily gillian called not too long later.. so i went to clementi to meet her for lunch and then we went to SPGG for swimming.. fun.. we went to relax first in the jacuzzi.. then we went into the steam pool to see who could last longer.. well as some may know, i hate hot.. hot drinks, hot weather.. so naturally, i came out of the steam pool first.. haha.. so for my forefeit i have to ask ludwig if he wanted to come along the next time we (chris, gill, faith and me) go ktv.. then we went back to jacuzzi to get back our body temperature to normal first.. and then we went into the cold pool.. muahahaha.. if i hate the heat, means i will love cold!.. and yes i lasted longer.. gillian's forefeit is to ask ludwig and jason to join chris, faith, gill and me for lunch.. hmm but since we both have to each do a forefeit.. guess we could cancel out.. wonder if gillian is agreeable.. haha.. anyway after that we went to swim a few laps.. think they just cleaned the pool today.. so it was rather clean and very nice to swim.. then we went to the steam room.. and the sauna.. and back to the jacuzzi for a while before showering.. overall, it is very relaxing.. a pity chris can't join us..

went to clementi to walk walk with gillian after that.. the weather was freaking hot again.. i tried some jeans at one of the shops.. but the service is terrible so in the end i walked off.. then walked pass hang ten.. managed to buy a pair of jeans at $20.. a little tight at the butt.. but it looks alright.. so i shall just squeeze in a little.. i've really got big butt.. i think i need to go this fashion at paya lebar soon.. so that i can buy pants.. and then wear pants to work next time.. skirt isn't a very practical choice if i have to sit in front of my students, who are sitting on the floor..

been doing my DCS lesson plan since i came home from swimming.. currently only done till my literature review, lesson plan for 1 hour.. i still am left with.. introduction to my lesson plan, lesson plan for 1/2 hour, 6 worksheets and a powerpoint for my classroom discussion.. sheesh.. date due is on the 17th April.. next monday.. but i dun have lessons that day.. so i am planning to finish all these by this thurs.. 13th April as i have to go sch.. so i dun have to specially make that trip down on the 17th April.. and then i can enjoy my long weekend.. and prepare for my exams.. got 2 papers.. 21st April (DSS 100 - 120 MCQ) and 25th April (DSM 101).. eekz.. its so near..

okie, gotta get back to my lesson plan now.. ciaoz!

RGPS.. simple instructions also cannot follow.. have to keep repeating my instructions to her.. and she keep coming back with the wrong answers.. then 2nd last student.. Samantha.. ok.. she is one student takes really pisses me off.. right to the core.. she failed her grade 5 piano exam.. after practicing the pieces and scales for 1 1/2 years.. worse still.. she failed every single section of her exam.. so anyway i told her to bring back her exam book.. ok she brought it back.. but the rest of the books i need to use for lesson she didn't bring back.. grrrr.. so i made her play the C major scale for 1 whole hour.. and she can't even play that.. even my 5 year old students can play that.. what more Samantha is already 14 years old.. and her theory homework.. she didn't read the instructions given.. do all wrong..

evening went to church.. this sunday is palm sunday.. and there was a procession church.. its been quite a long time since i went for the procession.. many many years.. it was a nice experience.. well.. coming week is the holy week.. which means i will be going to church quite often.. maundy thursday.. good friday.. easter vigil (the day before sunday).. and easter sunday.. i like the easter vigil mass.. but not good friday mass.. it is so long.. oh well.. lucky it is only once a year.. hehe.. i know i'm a bad catholic

saw zhee kor (二姑) in church today.. so after mass she said to go her house for dinner.. she wants to cook for us (my family)... but dad had to send his friend home first.. so together.. zhee kor.. my bro and i walked to her house.. then on the way zhee kor said that she wanted to bring us out to bowling the coming week.. yeah.. she'll call me again and let me know.. she cooked black pepper prawns.. xiao bai cai.. minced pork egg omelette.. and campbell's scallop soup.. nice.. i like her cooking!.. my brother really enjoyed it too.. i guess we all miss home cooked food..

wondering what to do for dad's birthday.. mum said to celebrate it apart from ah gong's birthday celebration on the 22nd..and give dad a more personalized birthday.. so i suggested we celebrate it on the 21st april.. one day before his actual birthday...i'm in charge of getting the cake.. should i also cook dinner on the 21st apr? hmmm.. feel like.. but i dunno if they allow me to cook.. gotta clean the whole kitchen after that...

FINALLY.. i can get a cold room.. these few nights has been really hot.. becos i've been sleeping with the fan.. i can't help it.. i admit i'm pampered.. i need the air con to sleep.. laogong.. psst.. i warning u.. next time our room must have air con hor..hehe..

hmm ok.. signing off here..

KTV!!!! woooo~

Yeah fun and exciting day today! DCE100 test in the morning wasn't fun and exciting though.. a lot of people felt that the test was totally disorganized.. there were not enough test papers.. test started late and ended late.. and instructions were not given clearly.. but well at least the test is over and this marks the end of DCE100.. YES YES YES!!!! Chris also gave me, gillian and faith a sticker.. this sticker can be put onto the tile.. or even on cups.. here's what it looks like...



Went to Clementi for lunch after that with Gillian, Chris, Faith and Pearlyn.. late lunch.. we had lunch at 2+pm and then went to party world at clementi.. sang till 7pm.. lots of fun.. finally.. after so long.. finally i went to ktv.. i think i sang pretty well for the song.. when you tell me that you love me... that is really a sweet song.. anyway.. i also sang 叉烧包 by 周惠 .. i surprised myself.. i can finally sing the whole song.. haha.. we really enjoyed ourselves.. we sang lots of english oldies today.. like the power of love.. lady in red.. etc etc.. in fact i am still in the singing mood.. haha..

met laogong at jurong east after that and we went to lot1 shopping centre for dinner.. wanted to have ramen at aijisen but the queue was so long.. so we walked around and then went to this restuarant Rossinis.. it serves Halal Thai Chinese cuisine.. we ordered fish head curry.. and oyster omelette.. initially we wanted to change the fish head curry to the fish tail.. but they didn't serve it that way.. so we ordered the fish head curry.. ooo.. yumyum.. no regrets.. at least now i learnt how to scrap the meat from the fish head.. except.. i still dun eat the fish eyeball... haha.. attached below are some of the pictures of out meal.. too bad i forgot to take the picture before we started eating.. so well.. what u will see is not what is served.. haha.. bill came up to $30+.. quite alrite la.. its worth it.. service also good..

Fish Head Curry.. only the curry..

3/4 eaten Oyster Omelette

Remains of the fish.. muahahaha..

Also a bit suay today.. wore a new shoe.. and the strap broke!! goodness.. so quickly bought a new pair and threw away the old pair... not that it can't be repaired.. but rather.. if repair and super glue the strap again.. it will snap again.. sooner or later.. anyway after dinner.. we walk walk a bit... then go home le lor..

reach home already den parents said that my bro wasn't coming home today.. he staying over at gf's house.. cos they are shifting tmr.. and my brother will help them out..i think my parents are upset about it.. i think they feel neglected by my brother.. sigh..

signing off now...

i love my dad!

tonight's dinner was wonderful!! thanks daddy for cooking it.. dad cooked crabs and prawns today for dinner.. the crabs were really big and huge and fully of meat.. i only ate one claw and the shell and i was already very very full.. imagine how big the crab must have been.. and dad cooked sambal prawns.. not the best i've eaten before though.. but still.. it's the effort.. i asked dad why he cooked so special today.. he said because he was on half day leave today.. so he thought of cooking something special.. but i think deep down inside it is because he is so looking forward to my brother's return from his 4 day camp at St. John island.. and probably felt my brother didn't eat well.. and wanted to cook something my brother liked.. BUT sad to say.. my bro told him that he was quite full.. sigh.. could see the disappointment in my dad's eyes.. but what to do.. sometimes i wonder when will my brother grow up..

really admire my dad.. though i think he treats my brother better.. but nonetheless.. my dad is someone who i really admire.. he will not scold and treat me like a piece of shit during the process.. but he talks to u.. really heart to heart and understands why.. he really takes care of the family.. despite nearing his retirement age.. he works hard.. making sure that he will give each one of us (me, bro, mum) what we need.. and if he can afford our wants.. he will try to get it for us too.. yes although i say he's naggy at time.. but i know ultimately.. its for my good..

ok basically today went to school in the morning only for 2 hours.. and only to listen to presentations.. feels a little senseless to me.. but gotta go la.. attendance taken.. lol.. but after lesson, went with gillian and sultanah to jp for lunch.. and walk walk again there.. haha.. BEGA selling very nice skirt again!! so tempted to buy.. but it was so expensive.. for a short skirt.. it is $46.. goodness.. walked off immediately.. but my heart still eyeing that skirt.. haha.. went home shortly after..

when i reached home.. i saw a pail of crabs and knew my dad would prepare that for tonight.. but dad wasn't in.. he went jb for a while.. when he came home.. 2 out of the 4 crabs he bought crawled out of the pail and nearly into my living room.. i was too engrossed studying just now that i didn't even realize the crabs were out of the pail.. haha.. dad came home and caught the crabs and killed them.. dad also made chrysanthemum tea.. ahhh.. it is so nice.. i love it!

was watching the results of the american idol.. i am in a total state of a shock! Mandisa kicked out this week.. how could this happen?!!!!!!! maybe country song is not her forte.. but for the past few weeks.. she has been consistently top.. sigh.. guess i won't really watch this season of american idol already.. pointless.. dun really like the rest of the singers left..

DCE100 test tmr.. prepared my 5 by 8 card.. spent the whole afternoon doing it..

squeezed everything inside.. dun think u can see a word.. lol.. but who cares as long as i can read it for tmr's test.. can't wait for it to be over.. looking forward to the ktv session tmr.. yeah yeah!!

laogong tmr need to hand in proj.. dunno if he managed to print his report already or not.. no calls from him yet.. no sms either.. nvm.. i shall just wait.. maybe will study a bit more while waiting... hmm...

Hate the weather.. eekz!

woke up this morning with a terrible neck ache.. last night's sleep wasn't peaceful.. first.. i had block nose.. and then i had to breathe through my throat.. and my throat starting to get clogged up with phlegm.. and then i felt so terrible i kept coughing to try to clear my phlegm.. before i finally managed to sleep for a while.. and then i felt so hot... air con is really dying on me.. nvm.. my dad will help me install my new aircon tmr i guess.. so i switched on my fan and then slept thru.. in the morning was woken up by an sms.. and ouch.. my neck ached so bad i couldn't even turn my hand.. then i slowly moved and rotated my head.. felt slightly better a while.. but it is still aching.. think i gotta get a new pillow too.. my pillow now is too flat for me..

went for piano class today.. and as usual.. i didn't practice.. so i knew i was gonna get hell from my teacher today.. was mentally prepared for it already.. but well it wasn't that bad.. at least i managed to clear my technical piece today.. exam piece still isn't good.. she says i lack the touch still.. sigh.. have been playing this piece for almost a year already and she still says it isn't good.. sometimes i feel like giving up my diploma.. but i dun wanna let mum down.. she is so keen on seeing me get my diploma for my piano.. i really need the motivation!!!

came home for lunch and then went to bf's house.. yeah! managed to escape confession today.. haha.. well i told my dad a lie.. said was going to do proj.. shh!.. hmm guess the next time i go for confession i gotta confess that lie.. hehe.. well was supposed to study DCE test at bf's house.. but.. had no mood for it.. so i did DCS lesson plan instead.. hehe.. did a bit and then i ended up watching tv.. haha..

today's weather is so horrible! it is hot.. and then it started raining suddenly.. making me take a cab home from jurong east after piano class.. then when i went to bf's house.. it was so sunny again.. and at bf's house it started raining and stopping a few times.. and worse still.. it was so humid.. came home feel all so sticky and eeky.. and it caused me to have a terrible headache.. gonna rest!

Book Review: Nora Roberts - Hidden Star (Book 1)

Nora Roberts' Hidden Star is Part 1 of the 3 books on The Stars of Mitra. The Stars of Mitra consists of 3 gems, and the gems are with 3 different people - Bailey, M.J, Grace. Book 1 tells of Bailey's ordeal to protect the gem.

Bailey James has anmesia and couldn't not even remember who she was. But she knew she was in some kind of trouble. Seeking help, she found Cade Parris, a private investigator to help her find out who she was, the trouble she was facing and to protect her. The moment Cade saw Bailey, he had set his eyes on her and wanted to protect her wholeheartedly.

Bailey and 2 of her brothers, twins - Thomas and Timothy inherited their father's business and she was a gemologist. She had to access the 3 stones on The Stars of Mitra. Overcome by greed, her brothers plotted against with each other. Timothy killed Thomas and was about to kill Bailey too, but she managed to escape. Thunders, lightning, murder. Bailey was terrified and had blocked all these out of her, causing her amnesia. Before this, Bailey knew the 3 gems would be stolen, and thought it would be safer to send the gems into 3 different directions, with 3 different people, causing her friends, M.J and Grace also to be in hot pursuit. (To be covered in Book 2 and Book 3, which I have not read yet.)

Definitely a thrilling book, with lots of hot romance between Bailey and Cade. A rating of 4 stars out of five.

Jurong Point again...

was so happy i could sleep till later this morning because there is finally no more DCE100 lessons.. yeah!!!! no more sacarisms filled tutorials.. and tutorials going faster than the speed of bullet train.. BUT.. DCE100 test on friday! 9.30am-12.30pm.. in a LT.. gonna get neck ache.. but nevermind, i shall look forward to the KTV session this friday with chris, gillian and ray...finally i can sing my lungs out.. anyway that's what i am doing now.. currently obsessed with the songs.. "Say a little prayer", "When you tell me that you love me", "Superwoman"... hehe..

had only one lesson in school today.. DSM101.. last revision lesson.. dr. teo was so "comical" today.. he did the revision qns.. and then proudly announced "i did my homework. did u all do?" well.. the amazing thing is.. he finally did his homework.. every time in class he will just sit down and ask us to solve and he look.. when we dunno how to do a qns.. he takes a long time and stares at the qns.. and then tries to solve it.. well.. there was a feedback form for the class too.. i wrote down that dr. teo isn't a good tutor.. have to be truthful in these forms right? if not it defeats the purpose of writing.. too bad.. i believe that if u are a teacher, u gotta be passionate about it.. what's more contradicting in this case is.. he is a teacher at NIE.. a teacher for teachers.. imagine.. with his style of teaching?.. sigh..

after lesson.. gillian and i went to jp for lunch.. wanted to eat nasi padang at banquet.. but the variety doesn't look appealing to me.. and half of the foodcourt is under renovation.. so i had yong tau foo.. then we walked around jp again.. lol.. i think we can walk in jp everyday and not feel bored.. wanted to buy some OP tees.. cos they were having a promotion.. spend $60 and get another t-shirt of any choice free.. they had some t-shirts that is selling at $19.90.. so approximately.. 3 shirts will be nearly $60.. we asked if they could give the 4th t-shirt.. they said no.. so gillian and i walked off... if not we would have gotten 2 tees each.. for $60.. so niao one >.<...

when i reached home.. dad called me.. said that he bought my air con already.. but needed help to carry it up.. so i went down... wah.. the air con is terribly heavy.. my dad and i struggled with it... and now both my palms are slightly bruised.. dad said will install it on thursday when my brother's home from camp.. yeah..finally i can get cold air coming out of my air con.. haha.. my current air con is on the verge of breaking down already.. compressor spoilt and some piping corroded..

sometimes i wonder whether i am being unreasonable.. quite upset that bf doesn't spend much time with me.. but yet i know why.. he works.. has projs.. and has his game and his own friends.. and he spends not as much time as before with me.. but i dun wanna appear too possessive.. so i say it doesn't matter.. but.. sometimes i just feel so lonely.. maybe that's why i started this blog.. something for me to pass my time.. and type down my feelings.. and for him to read.. because sometimes i dun have a chance to tell him about what happened each day.. so if he wants to know he can read..

gotta go confession tomorrow at St. Mary of the Angels.. urgh.. dreading it.. dun think i can escape going it this time.. oh well.. just treat it as getting it over and done with.. sometimes i wonder.. why am i a catholic.. i hate going to church.. and i dun read the bible etc.. what's the point of all these hoo-haa.. what's more important is the faith in me right?..

am currently reading Nora Robert's Hidden Star.. nice book.. maybe when i am done with it i will do a short write up of this book in my blog.. editted my blog yesterday.. phew.. well.. tried the various blog skins.. but in the end i am back to using the template.. looks neater.. though not the cute cute type that i like.. anyway still managed to customize it to make it nicer.. not too boring.. added those you-tubes and my pet fishiefishie and guiny.. hey guys.. feed it if u want... and from editting html codes.. i learnt a little bit of html.. maybe with a little more practice.. i may even do my own blogskin.. haha.. will see how.. will probably do more reading up about html when exams are over.. and then try it out.. am going back to my story book now...


oh ya.. gonna try see if i can upload photos.. hehe..love this picture.. it is so sweet

Shopping!!

haha what a fun day today! had test in the morning.. wasn't too bad.. could manage it.. after that went to jurong point.. at first wanted to have lunch at seoul garden.. but jp's seoul garden isn't there anymore.. so we went shopping first and then had lunch at billy bombers.. first time there.. goodness the serving can feed a cow! lol.. so at the end of today.. i bought a green plaited skirt.. and kept getting nagged by gillian cos the length is above knee and not suitable for teaching.. well its $15.. i can wear it casual still.. like the skirt.. and also bought a top from BEGA.. $26.. and eyeshadow pencil.. from watsons.. yeah.. about it...

had practicum briefing today too.. practicum is from 26 June - 28 July 2006... excited.. yet scared.. finally.. i can really teach.. experience it really.. teaching piano is gonna be really different from teaching in a primary school.. postings will be out on 24th april.. can't wait..

hmm ok so briefing ended at 6.30pm.. and imagine a whole LT full trying to cramp up into 199 or 179.. luckily chris's hubby came to fetch her.. so gill, faith n i hitched a ride.. me and gill alighted at cck.. and there i took a bus home.. was supposed to meet dad at IMM to buy aircon but my uncle.. (dua yi's hubby) is in hospital.. so couldn't get aircon today.. dad say maybe will go tmr or wed.. well..see how..

laogong failed his medic test today.. but not his fault.. he doesn't get to practise it.. can't blame him.. hope his boss's boss dun make trouble for him... worried abt his proj too.. muack.. laogong must jia you!

First post..

First post... wow... been a long time since i last had my blog.. well i used livejournal last time.. but gave up halfway before.. wonder how long i can last with it.. but i shall try my best to update it as often as possible.. blogging's the craze now.. and thought that maybe i should do it too.. hmm for the fun of it..

today's sunday.. and went to work in the morning.. my little monster jeriel is sick today and didn't come.. kinda miss him.. though he usually makes my blood boil... fiona.. also didn't come.. no sms, no call from her.. make me waste 1 hour waiting for her to come..

went to laogong's house today too.. actually planned to go out.. but he realized that his proj is due this coming friday.. and so he needed to stay home to finish it.. basically i just rotted there.. crap around with his sisters.. and watched campus superstar.. well.. honestly.. i dun think that the finalists are good.. but guess got to cover one eye becos they are still young.. but well.. at least zhi yang won.. gotta say he's the best among the 4 of them.. though i think Renfred's cutter..

was reading SNAG mag at bf's house just now.. and saw my sec school friends as models.. omg.. where does that leave me? feel so left out.. so ugly.. but well.. at least i have my laogong who loves me dearly.. and my bunch of close friends.. gillian n chris..

school tomorrow.. quite a crappy day.. got DSE 101 test tmr on text types.. didn't really study much.. not that i'm complacent.. but rather i feel that there isn't much to prepare.. as long as i know what are my verbs, nouns, adverbials.. i guess more or less i should be quite stable.. hoping for the best.. anyway test runs from 10.30-11.20am.. and then i have a break.. all the way till 5.30pm.. for my practicum briefing.. will probably rot at jurong pt with gillian after the test..

well i am still sick.. runny nose and cough.. grr.. can't drink cold drinks.. that is as good as killing me.. haha.. but at least i feel slightly better already.. alrite.. shall end here.. gonna explore how to customize my blog..

ciaoz.. and nitez!

btw.. thanks yanxin for all the songs.. hee..
